Impairment as a human constant: cross-cultural and historical perspectives on variation
1988
Scheer, J. | Groce, N.
The social science literature on physical disabilities suffers a curious omission in the relative lack of attention paid to a cross-cultural or historical perspective. We argue that disability is a human constant--that is, all human societies have and have always had disabled members. While the presence of such individuals is a constant, culturally shared responses to them vary greatly across time and social context.
